Healthy Schools
We encourage all our schools to work towards the Healthy School Standard - a national scheme designed to support and strengthen a school's personal, social and health education (PSHE) programme.
The Healthy Schools Programme has focus areas; Physical Activity, Healthy Eating, PSHE and Emotional Health and Well Being and covers issues such as drug education, citizenship, sex and relationships, diet and nutrition and how to tackle bullying.
The aims of the programme are
- To support children and young people in developing healthy behaviours
- To help to raise pupil achievement
- To help to reduce health inequalities and
- To help promote social inclusion
A Healthy School promotes the health and well being of its pupils and staff through well-planned, taught curriculum in a physical and emotional environment that promotes learning and healthy lifestyle choices.
The scheme is supported by the Education Department's PSHE Consultant and the Health and Social Services Department's Health Promotion Unit.
